Abstract excerpt
RofA-like protein (RALP) type regulators have been shown to exist in different forms in group A streptococci (GAS) and to regulate the expression of important bacterial adhesins. This study shows that the vast majority of strains from different GAS M serotypes carried a rofA virulence regulator gene in their genome and that this gene could be detected in combination with other RALP genes and RALP-dependent...
